Imran Khan: Hair should be sued
2 years ago, mid-AugustDuncan wrote in to say he had an exclusive interview with Imran Khan who feels Pakistan should sue Darrell Hair:
“Pakistan have been unhappy with Hair’s umpiring before: it’s his manner, as if he wants to stamp his authority on the game. These kind of umpires do so much damage to the game.
“If he thought the ball had been tampered with, Hair should have given Inzamam a warning - instead of immediately jumping in and suggesting that ball tampering had occurred.
“Inzamam made a big mistake: he should have taken a stand on the spot when the ball was changed. Not coming out after tea was the wrong kind of protest. The captain’s job is to focus on winning the game. The manner of the protest has lost Pakistan valuable time in a game they looked like winning.
It’s all kicking off, and it’s all pretty depressing too. Thanks to Scott for the flurry of posts. Cricinfo has the mess in full of course.
